Live coverage: India set 349 for victoryUmpire retires hurt after being hit by Finch drive
Former Test opener Simon Katich believes the 300-plus scores which have been the norm this one-day series against India are not a flash in the pan after David Warner and Aaron Finch ran riot at Manuka Oval on Wednesday.
Warner and Finch posted a 187-run opening stand in just 177 balls to set up the hosts' monstrous total of 7-348. 
It is the first time in the series Australia have batted first after successfully chasing down big totals in the first three games to take an unassailable 3-0 lead. 
Despite Warner batting out a maiden against Umesh Yadav in the first over, the hard-hitting pair blasted 50 off 38 balls to set up a huge run-chase for India. 
Warner looked set for his fifth one-day international hundred but departed for 93 off 91 balls when he was bowled attempting to slog Ishant Sharma through mid-wicket. 
Finch (107 off 107 balls) went on to secure his second ton in as many games at Manuka, backing up his 109 off 127 balls in last summer's win over South Africa. 
It is also the third straight summer Australia have batted first in Canberra and posted more than 300 after doing so in the defeats of West Indies and South Africa. 
The Manuka Oval is traditionally batting friendly but Katich feels the advent of Twenty20 cricket means scoring at greater than a run-a-ball is now expected in the 50-over game. 
"The game always evolves, and Twenty20 has been great in that the batsmen's mindsets have changed now going into one-day internationals," Katich said. 
"It allows for attractive cricket and scores of 350 are very possible. Because the mindset is so different to 20 years ago and they know they can go out there and score well over a run-a-ball. 
"That's the way the modern game is and it's great to watch."
After Warner's departure Australia experimented by promoting Mitch Marsh to No.3, but the young all-rounder struggled to get going in making 33 off 42 balls. 
It was left to Steve Smith to pick up the slack, the skipper racing to his half-century off 27 balls.
His innings ended soon after on 51 when he top-edged a shot to Gurkeerat Singh at fine leg off Sharma. 
Smith's strike rate of 175.86 is the third highest in a one-day innings by an Australian captain, behind Allan Border (84 off 44 balls at 190.90 against England in 1989) and George Bailey (92 off 50 balls at 184 against India in 2013).
Fresh from his superb match-winning 96 in Melbourne on Sunday, Glenn Maxwell (41 off 19 balls) finished the innings with some brilliant innovative stroke-play, including 18 off the last over of the innings from Sharma.
No Indian bowler was spared, but opening bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0-69 off eight overs) was dealt with particularly harshly. 
Wickets from Sharma (4-77) and Yadav (3-67) helped restrict Australia to a chase-able total after a score of almost 400 looked possible midway through the innings.
